Cause (Documented platform behavior): Documented: API enforces BAA feature eligibility and names the blocked features. Under ZDR (without HIPAA) these features are not blocked but fall outside ZDR.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/api-and-data-retention (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): Docs show the exact 400 message for code_execution and state HIPAA-enabled orgs are blocked from non-eligible features with the message naming them; ZDR orgs are not blocked.
Search phrasings: not available for HIPAA-regulated organizations without Zero Data Retention; anthropic HIPAA code_execution 400
